narrative-authenticity
Apply human-authenticity rules (from StoryScope AI-fiction research) while planning, drafting, or reviewing chapters in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the user asks to plan an outline, draft a chapter, make prose less AI, humanize writing, check for AI tells, or audit a manuscript. Covers both structural tells (linear plots, explained themes, no subplots) and prose tells (embodied-emotion overload, smell overuse, triads, lexical slop).
structure-humanize
Diagnose and repair STRUCTURAL AI tells in an existing draft — explained themes, missing subplots, all-linear time, uniform resolutions, flat escalation — the tells that survive style editing. Use when the user says a finished draft still feels AI despite prose polish, asks to humanize the structure, restructure a story, fix the plot shape, or run a structural audit on existing chapters. For word/rhythm-level fixes use narrative-authenticity guidance or a prose-humanize pass instead.
blind-reader
Simulate a cold, first-time reader reaction without authorial hindsight in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author wants to test how a chapter lands, see where a reader skims, check character trust/likability, or get an honest page-turn verdict.
character-dna
Forge complex, multi-layered characters by deconstructing and combining traits from famous fictional characters, historical figures, or real-world personas in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author wants to design a character using "X meets Y", famous archetypes, or real-person inspirations.
character-interview
Interrogate characters to discover voice, dialect, and speech rules in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to interview a character, test character dialogue, or build a voice profile.
dialogue-heat
Intensify flat, polite, or expository dialogue in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to heat up dialogue, inject subtext, add status play, or create conversational friction.
lore-brainstorm
Brainstorm worldbuilding, sci-fi/magic systems, factions, and character secrets in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to brainstorm lore, worldbuilding, or subplot elements.
plot-interrogator
Cross-examine scene logic, character choices, and turning points as a skeptical devil's advocate in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to stress-test a plot point, check for plot holes, eliminate plot armor, or ask "does this make sense?"
sensory-bloom
Expand abstract, generic, or low-viscosity descriptions into rich, concrete sensory prose in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to bloom a passage, add sensory details, or fix white room syndrome.
stage-scene
Plan scene staging, physical blocking, value shifts, and opening hooks in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to stage a scene, set up chapter beats, or write opening hooks.
subplot-braid
Calculate thread dormancy and weave secondary storylines into upcoming chapter beats in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to braid subplots, freshen a B-story, or check for neglected narrative threads.
subplot-collision
Crash secondary subplots into the main quest at mid-book turning points to force irreversible Best Bad Choices in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author wants to crash storylines together or create a high-stakes turning point.
subplot-genesis
Architect non-cliché secondary storylines and B-stories in a Soundingboard workspace to eliminate narrative monomania. Use whenever the author asks to create, plan, or brainstorm subplots.
subplot-resolution
Audit thread resolution timing, eliminate ending clumping, and enforce the Loose-End Ledger in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to audit subplot endings or check resolution variety.
theme-weaver
Weave thematic symbolism, physical motifs, and environmental metaphors into scenes in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to deepen themes or add motifs without preaching.
therefore-but
Audit beatsheets and plot outlines for causal momentum in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks to audit causality, do a Therefore/But pass, or fix episodic "and then" plotting.
unstuck
Overcome writer's block, pacing drag, or scene deadlocks in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author says they are stuck, blocked, don't know what happens next, or asks for narrative forks forward.
wwxdu
Stress-test characters by dropping them into extreme or unexpected scenarios in a Soundingboard workspace. Use whenever the author asks "what would X do if...", asks to drop-test a character, or test moral limits under pressure.
